Office of the Under Secretary of War for Policy.

[Under Secretary of War Elbridge Colby @USWPColby]

I am proud to share @realDonaldTrump’s nomination of three outstanding candidates to join @SecDef’s team at the @DeptofDefense: Alex Velez-Green, John Noh, and Austin Dahmer. They are among our nation’s most thoughtful and realistic defense thinkers and leaders. They are also fully committed to President Trump’s vision of America First and Peace Through Strength – and they have already delivered superb results to advance it. 1/
